Buying LED from USA
 

Hi Guys,

Need some information, I am planning to buy a 42-46 LED from USA. This is what i am planning to do -

1. Buy 42"-46" LED from EBAY
2. Will try to keep the deal under 35k, as limit is 35k if i am not wrong ( i am open for refurbished / used)
3. Ask my friend (one who's traveling from US to India) to claim this under oversized baggage.
4. Put a "fragile" sticker on LED box
5. Almost all LED are Global ready & they run both 110V & 240V. Need inputs here
6. No idea on how to convert NTSC to PAL. (will use this LED for X-BOX[PAL] and Movies[.mkv] via USB)

Apart from the above, need your help on finding a good deal. You guys are local there, so need your help.

Bigger the size, lighter the weight, the better it is

Thanks in advance.

not a good idea....

it doesn't matter how much you pay for the tv as the customs officials here have their own price manual for pretty much all electronic items & they will use that manual to determine the true value of the tv....

the warranty will not be applicable here so if anything goes wrong then you will have to foot the bill....

there will be oversize & overweight baggage fee....

there is always the fear that no matter how many fragile stickers you put on the package, there is a reasonable possibility that the tv can break during the journey....

all in all, i would not do this nor advise anyone to do so as well....

Bad Idea. Not worth the hassle & Risk.

Buying TVs from Middle east / SE Asia used to be a good deal (May be even now). But all the airlines started charging a over sized TV Fee, thus reducing the cost benefit.

could work
 

We just got a 42" TV from BKK to DEL. The customs official asked for the receipt to check if it was less than 35K INR. Since it was, he did not ask for a bribe or duty.

So - if you are an Indian citizen it could work. We did have to pay oversize baggage fee of $40 to Thai Airways.
